The focus of the study is on the importance of early optimism for adult subjective well-being (SWB). Only females were studied. Data from age 13 and age 43 were taken from the Swedish longitudinal research program Individual Development and Adaptation (IDA, Magnusson, 1988). We investigated the longitudinal relationship between early optimism and optimism at age 43, its mediation via positive and
We have evaluated a method for synthesizing mammograms by comparing the texture of clinical and synthetic mammograms. The synthesis algorithm is based upon simulations of breast tissue and the mammographic imaging process. Mammogram texture was synthesized by projections of simulated adipose tissue compartments. It was hypothesized that the synthetic and clinical texture have similar properties, a
This qualitative study explores the professional experiences of social workers in psychiatric care, focusing on the emotional challenges of working with individuals in difficult life situations. The aim was to examine how their emotional expressions, strategies for recovery, and organizational factors contribute to a supportive work environment. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interv
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka fenomenet socialt stöd och huruvida det har en inverkan på den upplevda arbetstillfredsställelsen hos kontorsmedarbetare inom den privata sektorn. Studien tar även hänsyn till andra eventuella faktorer som främst lön men även kön. Variablerna mättes genom en webbenkät (N=78) och de statistiska analyserna genomfördes genom korrelationer och multipel regressionThis study aims to examine the phenomenon of social support and whether it relates to the perceived job satisfaction of white collar workers in the private sector. The study also considers other potential influencing factors, salary and gender. The variables were measured through a web-based survey (N=78) and statistical analyses were conducted using correlations and multiple regression. The resul
As deep neural networks grow more powerful, they also require more computational resources, which becomes a challenge when deploying on edge devices with limited computational capacity. This thesis looks into knowledge distillation, a model compression technique where a large "teacher" network transfers its learned features to a smaller "student" network. Our goal is to maintai
In 2012 a decision was made that half of the defence logistic organisation and personel in the Swedisch Armed Forces (SAF) should move to the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV). This decision was made after a period of downsizing the SAF and the purpose was shifted from national defence to international EU, UN and NATO commitments. Approximately 1 500 individuals working in logistics we
Deep convolutional neural networks are great at learning structures in signals and sequential data. Their performance have surpassed most non-convolutional algorithms on classical problems within the field of image analysis. A reason behind their success is that even though these networks generally need a great amount of examples to learn from, they can be used to learn smaller tasks through diffe
The Spanish newspaper El País wrote on the 25th of November 2015 that Spain has 3,4 million empty homes. Today one sees skeletons of unfinished buildings scattered throughout the country as well as finished buildings uninhabited due to corruption and diminished investment opportunities. We can no longer expect that the buildings we design will inhabit the same program throughout their lifetime. I
En central del av barnrättsperspektivet och barnets bästa är barn och ungas rätt att komma till tals i frågor som rör dem. Denna rättighet är särskilt viktig i samband med vård enligt LVU eftersom det är en av de allra mest ingripande åtgärder som staten genom sociala myndigheter kan vidta. Barns rätt att komma till tals är reglerad både i svensk rätt och internationella instrument. 36 § LVU stadg
Finding vulnerabilities in open source code is getting more important with the increasing use of open source. The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) provides a database for public vulnerabilities, or CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures), which is a standard for identifying vulnerabilities. NVD is the most common used source for vulnerabilities but there exists other vulnerability sources
This thesis explores the ways in which ‘‘Ides of March, 2020’’ (2020) by Didi Jackson, ‘‘Sing a Darkness’’ (2020) by Carl Phillips, and ‘‘Desert Lily’’ (2020) by Rigoberto González engage with concepts of nature and trauma. All three poems reveal poignant elaborations on human position and relationship to nature, and how nature might help the speakers dealing with the traumatic present of the pand
The European spruce bark beetle is considered as one of the most destructive forest insects to Norway spruce trees in Europe. Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of bark beetle outbreaks. It is therefore of vital importance to detect the bark beetle outbreaks and take it under control to prevent further damages. Remote sensing techniques may provide a cost-efficient solution to
Denna avhandling undersöker konceptet Rolling Magnet Energy Harvester (RMEH), en kinetisk energifångare, baserad på principerna för elektromagnetisk induktion. RMEH är utformad med fraktcontainrar i åtanke och utnyttjar energin från fordonets rörelser för att driva potentiella sensorer ombord. Det långsiktiga målet är att förbättra logistiken genom att tillhandahålla en enkel, hållbar och underhålThis thesis investigates the concept of a Rolling Magnet Energy Harvester (RMEH), a kinetic energy harvester based on the principles of electromagnetic induction. Designed with shipping containers in mind, the RMEH harnesses energy from the rolling motion of vehicles to power potential onboard sensors. The long term objective is to enhance logistics by providing a simple, sustainable, and maintena
Centrala lägen av städerna vilka tidigare nyttjats för industri har genom ett förändrande samhälle och ekonomi kommit att lämnats orörda och i förfall. Detta medför att det idag finns attraktiva fastigheter med potentiella föroreningar i mark och byggnader vilka samhället nu önskar utnyttja för andra ändamål såsom bostäder, kontor och handel. Exploatering av dessa områden innebär stora kostnader oAttractive locations in cities, previously used for industry, have been left untouched and in disrepair due to changes in society and the economy. This situation has resulted in central properties with potentially contaminated land and buildings that society now wishes to redevelop for housing, offices and commerce. Developing these areas involves significant costs and uncertainties for potential
Electronic Image Stabilization is a method to digitally stabilize a video feed to remove unwanted motion by transforming the image. The aim is to create a better viewing experience, reduce bitrate, and simplify further video analytics. This thesis explores different algorithms to stabilize Pan-Tilt-Zoom surveillance cameras made by Axis Communications. Many scenarios are investigated, but the case
I redogörelser över effektiva åtgärder i arbetet att begränsa ungdomars användande av alkohol och droger hänvisas till forskning som pekar på familjen som den enskilt viktigaste faktorn. Dock lämnas ingen närmre förklaring till varför föräldrarna är det mest lämpade ”verktyget” och ingenstans urskiljs föräldrarnas åsikter om sin medverkan i det preventiva arbetet med barns alkohol- och drogvanor. The aim of this study was to illustrate the parents' perceptions of how the drug prevention work is done when parents participated in parent education "Absolut förälder” and afterwards functioning as "tools", with the mission to influence their children's attitudes to alcohol and other drugs. A qualitative research method was used. The empirical material in the study is base
